My name is Leila Muhaizen. I am the Founder and CEO of Baklava, which we have deemed "the true Arab relationship app." I’ve been working on developing the best app possible to connect the worldwide Arab community and help create relationships, friendships, and marriages through it. People on the app can use it however they wish, as long as the goal is to get to know other Arabs or learn about Arabic culture.

What's your backstory and how did you get into entrepreneurship?

I was raised in a traditional tight-knit community in Lebanon with my single mother and brother. Technically, it was just us three, but it always felt like we had a village supporting us. People there have known each other for generations and have developed a sense of responsibility and loyalty to one another. I used to complain as a teenager that I had five women mothering me at once. It was an atypical family dynamic, but it is what shaped my appreciation for community.
